What a spectacular year we had in 2012! We started by announcing a partnership with KHS America, one of the largest manufacturers of musical instruments in the world! By April we had completely replaced our entire inventory of

instruments with Jupiter brass, Majestic percussion, and Mapex drums – instruments that made a marked change to the sound of our drum corps.While a $10,000 funding gap remains, we raised $120,000 in 15 months by selling off our old instruments and securing major gifts.Then came a truly remarkable summer season, where our Drum and Bugle Corps picked up new fans from across the nation with a show that appealed to so many of them. Facebook messages and emails came to us from around the country, and our own Southern California fans were right there to support us. We even inspired a larger pool of 2013 hopefuls with a 28% increase in attendance at our December camps.We did experience some financial challenges this year with our first-ever decrease in net assets, the net worth of our organization; however, our dedicated Board of Directors has analyzed those results and developed a plan to address those challenges moving forward.As we celebrate our 20th Anniversary in 2013, I am reminded of all the individuals who have helped make us who we are today. More than 1,200 students have performed with Pacific Crest; and hundreds of instructors and support staff, many of them volunteers, have helped transform the lives of these young people. I thank all of them for their commitment to Pacific Crest and express gratitude to the nearly 300 donors who commit their treasure to support our programs.

Executive Director’s Message

Under the leadership of Program Coordinator Mark Gunderson and Corps Manager David Pham, Pacific Crest enjoyed its most successful season ever. In Summer 2012, the corps performed in 23 shows and toured through ten states. They ended the season in 16th place at the Drum Corps International World Championships, held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was the corps’ highest finish at World Championships.We engaged spectators from around the country with our show entitled The Spectrum and made new fans along the way. A number of them shared their thoughts via Facebook:Loved your show last Thursday night in Round Rock, Texas!July 22, 2012 – Round Rock, TXI enjoyed the show last night in Erie, PA. You’ve gained another fan!August 1, 2012 – Erie, PAYou all ROCKED tiger stadium tonight! August 6, 2012 – Canton, OH

2012 Annual Report

A year prior to his election to the Pacific Crest Board of Directors, Howard Hsu (1994, 1996 – 1999) was already at work establishing the Pacific Crest Alumni Association. Since then, dozens of alumni have reconnected with the corps, participating in social events and programming to support our members.The Alumni Association funds the Peggy Haggin Scholarship, named for the long-time supporter and volunteer who passed away in 2010. Many alumni participate in Adopt-An-Ageout, mentoring age-outs and sending them care packages on tour. You’ll also see them staffing the VIP Booth at Corps at the Crest Walnut, where they thank music educators and donors for their support.The most exciting project to date has been RunPC a 5K/1K race event that raised $1,500 in its first year! Thanks to the Alumni Association, our alumni are reconnecting with each other and Pacific Crest and are providing needed support to our members at the same time.

She’s always ready to jump in and help with other projects, including sewing, cooking, and selling merchandise.“I love being around the performers who are working so hard to follow their dreams, to pursue their passion. It’s exciting to watch the show develop and I’m really thankful to be able to contribute a bit to it. And, I figure, that if I work half as hard as I see the marching members working, then I am doing pretty well.”

We are grateful to the donors listed below who were members of our Sustaining Leaders Circle in 2012. By restructuring their support to a monthly gift – automatically deducted from their checking account – they have lessened the burden of making an annual gift in one lump sum.How does this help Pacific Crest? Monthly gifts provide us income year-round, which is especially helpful during our off-season. Moreover, modest monthly giving allows donors to give much more over a year than they might be able to do otherwise. For example, a number of our donors who gave $25 per year are now giving $10 per month. That’s a total annual gift of $120 with little impact to their monthly budget! Plus at that level, they now qualify for premiums like free tickets to Corps at the Crest.2012 Sustaining Leaders CircleAnthony FritzKathryn GundersonStephan and Teresa HamiltonRussell HelmstedterPhil and Rachel HofmanPaul and Cynthia IdellJoan IrvineJane JonkhoffKyle KvetonMatthew LackeyAdora and Josh LeeDebbie MilliganGreg and Maria MortonStuart Pompel and Ann LuechaRufino Ramirez and Ana MichelDennis and Judith ShannonGerry VanBooven

Sustaining Leaders Use Monthly Giving to Lighten the Load

In January 2012, Pacific Crest announced a partnership with KHS America, in Nashville, Tennessee. Beginning with the 2012 DCI season, our drum corps has been performing exclusively on Jupiter Quantum Marching

Brass, Majestic Field Percussion, and Mapex Quantum Marching Drums.“KHS America is pleased to have its marching line associated with such a top-flight organization in Pacific Crest,” said Tabor Stamper, President of KHS America. “We look forward to working with them throughout the DCI season, and beyond.”To replace all of our musical instruments, we embarked on a capital campaign in November 2011, beginning with a lead gift of $25,000 from a single donor. The organization’s tradition of financial sustainability was matched by its tradition of donor support, resulting in $120,000 raised to fund the new instrument purchase.There is still a funding gap of $10,000 to complete the purchase. We hope to close this gap by June 1, 2013. For more information about how you can help, please email Stuart Pompel at pompel@pacific-crest.org.Partnering with one of the largest instrument manufacturers in the world has helped Pacific Crest gain visibility in the music industry, and we look forward to future opportunities this will provide.

2012 Summary of Financial Data

Fiscal Year 2012 ended with a $49,488 decrease to Pacific Crest’s net assets (the net worth of the organization). Of the decrease, $13,564 was due to unanticipated major repairs to our vehicles, a spike in airline fares, and fundraising shortfalls. To address this challenge, the Board adopted a 2013 budget with more achievable revenue targets and more realistic expenditures. It is anticipated that this will enable the organization to deliver on its mission while ensuring sustainability.The remaining $35,924 was a one-time write-down of the value of our old instrument inventory – the difference between the value of our old musical instruments and what we earned from the sell-off of the entire inventory.

Board of Directors Address Challenging Financial Results

Pacific Crest’s School Outreach Program provides a significant discount for school groups of 50 or more to attend Corps at the Crest; however, for disadvantaged students, their schools may have limited volunteer support, and organizing a group of 50 students can be insurmountable for them.

To address this problem US Bank provided generous funding that provided free tickets to 170 students in 2012, and an expected 250 students in 2013. In addition, we recently received a commitment from PacTrust Bank to further expand the program by another 200 students!In all, more than 600 underserved high school students will be able to experience a live drum corps performance thanks to the generous funding from US Bank and PacTrust Bank.
